Problem is I only see one real keeper on the team, and it's a WR, so considering, with 76 players kept (I don't know who they are yet) and knowing the position I need to fill up the quickest is RB, what would be your approach?

I think I am probably going to just assume I will stay in the keeper league and take young guys with potential because there is pretty much zero chance I go anywhere this year....so what guys should I get that are under the radar....and we are talking a very deep league.

And more importantly, who should I keep other than AJ Green here?

I would never play in a keeper league. But if I was in your shoes after playing fantasy football for 28 years now, I would keep A.J. Green, Greg Olson, Eric Decker and either Matt Jones or Seattle's defense.

My draft strategy would be to build toward the end of the season and the future. Find your value in guys like Deangelo Williams, Alfred Morris or James Starks that are an injury away from becoming your RB1. Also look at the rookie class. If you can land Ezekiel Elliot, take him. If you end up with a pick to waste, give Breshad Perriman of my Ravens a look. He's a first round talent that nobody has heard of or they've forgotten about him, but he saw his first action last night. His skill set is tailored to play WR for Joe Flacco and I don't have a whole lot of faith in aging Steve Smith, Mike Wallace or our ICU mess of TEs.
To summarize: Handcuffs and Rookies.

Oh yeah, if somehow Elliott slips to 5 I'll take him, but I can't imagine he will. I also like young guys like Chris Hogan and Phillip Dorsett. This is such a deep league that I imagine I'll have to look at rookies or 2nd year players that many don't know much about yet.

Seattle's D

4th - Olsen or Decker? I don't know Olsen but I do have a bunch of sleeper WR picks. I was thinking TE's don't have a huge discrepancy in points scored, but in a 20 team keeper, it might be tough to find a good one.

Actually TEs do have a noticeable discrepancy. When doing my draft homework, there was a significant dropoff from about the top 6 TEs to the rest of the field and Olsen was in the top 6. Nabbing a really good TE when the price is right is a good way to separate yourself from the field and Olsen was that kind of TE in 2015. If you have enough confidence in your WR sleepers, then I'd let Decker go since you already have Green. I like Seattle's defense for the reasons I mentioned, but this move should be with full confidence that they will not just be a top 10 defense, but a top 3 or better.

OK, submitting keepers now.

Knock 'em dead. Let us know what you decided and maybe post the rest of the league's keepers so we can get a feel for what you are up against. I've never been a part of a 20 team league and I'm interested in seeing it in action.
